////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''水曜日'' on this time.

Seven days constitute one week.
They are called by a name same as seven heavenly bodies.

The kanji to express Wednesday is "水 ( water, Mercury )".


I introduce ''木曜日'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
